SAMPLE RATE indicator
The lit/unlit state of the three SAMPLE RATE indicators
(44.1k, 48k and ×2) show the sampling frequency status
of the unit.
44.1 kHz 48 kHz x2
44.1 kHz Lit Unlit Unlit
48 kHz Unlit Lit Unlit
88.2 kHz Lit Unlit Lit

IN SIG indicators
These light when sound is being input through the dig-
ital inputs.
Input is judged to have occurred when the signal level
exceeds −60 dBFS.
4
OUT SIG indicators
These light when sound is being output through the dig-
ital outputs.
Output is judged to have occurred when the signal level
exceeds −60 dBFS.

5
AES/EBU IN connectors
These are balanced XLR AES3-2003/IEC60958-4 (AES/
EBU) format digital audio input connectors.
NOTE
When the sampling frequency is 88.2 or 96 kHz, use the
AES/EBU IN 1-2 connector. The AES/EBU IN 3-4 connec-
tor cannot be used.
6
AES/EBU OUT connectors
These are balanced XLR AES3-2003/IEC60958-4 (AES/
EBU) format digital audio output connectors.
NOTE
When the sampling frequency is 88.2 or 96 kHz, use the
AES/EBU OUT 1-2 connector. The AES/EBU OUT 3-4
connector cannot be used.
7
DC IN/DC OUT connectors
The DC-IN connector is above, and the DC-OUT connec-
tor is below. (Left is 12V, and right is GND.)
These connectors are specifically for power daisy-chain-
ing.
ATTENTION
Disconnect the AC adapter before connecting the DC IN
and DC OUT connectors.
NOTE
i
Power daisy-chaining can be enabled by connecting the
DC OUT and DC IN connectors. Power daisy-chaining of
up to two units is possible
i
When powering by PoE, the first unit in the powerdai-
sy-chain will not be powered. In this case, use a dedicat-
ed PS-P1220E AC adapter (sold separately) to power the
first unit in the daisy chain.
8
DATA/DATA+PoE connectors
These are Dante transmission connectors.
Use to connect the unit to a Dante network.
Use the DATA+PoE connector when connecting to a
switching hub that supports PoE power supply. In this
case, use of an AC adapter is not necessary.
Either connector can be used when using a switching
hub that does not support PoE power supply.

RESET button
This resets the settings.
Press and hold for 5 seconds to reset all Dante settings.
Press and hold for 10 seconds to reset all unit settings.
